Cypress Samples Industry's Fastest 16 Mbit Asynchronous SRAM; Maintains Leadership Position with Industry's Broadest Portfolio of SRAMs.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2002 Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY), the leader in the fast asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory market, today announced sampling of the industry's fastest, high-performance 16 Mbit fast asynchronous family of SRAMs, with a significantly lower active power than its competitors. These chips target a wide range of communications end markets and address wireless infrastructure and wide area network (WAN) applications such as asymmetrical digital subscriber line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and (ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ) modems, digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). (DSP) and optical networking interfaces. "With the release of the 16 Mbit family, Cypress now offers the broadest portfolio of cost-effective, fast asynchronous SRAMs in the market," said Walt Anderson, tactical marketing manager for Cypress's Memory Products Division. "This new family provides designers with a drop-in replacement to upgrade their existing systems to higher-performance, higher-density SRAM." The new family of 16 Mbit fast asynchronous SRAMs is manufactured using Cypress's 0.15-micron, RAM7(TM) process technology enabling speeds of up to 8 nanoseconds. Cypress offers the CY7C1061AV (1M x 16) and CY7C1069AV (2M x 8) in a 54-pin TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) A very thin, plastic, rectangular surface mount chip package with gull-wing pins on its two short sides. TSOPs are about a third as thick as SOJ chips. See gull-wing lead, SOP, SOJ and chip package. II or 48-ball fine-pitch ball grid array “BGA” redirects here. For other uses, see BGA (disambiguation). A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits. package (fBGA). The CY7C1062AV is offered in a 512Kb x 32 configuration and available in a first-to-market, 119-ball plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package. Availability and Price Samples of the various 16 Mbit devices in the asynchronous fast SRAM family -- including the x16 and x32, 3.3V -- are available now. Production quantities will be available in September with prices starting at $35 in volumes of 1000 units, based on option features.
